It's respecting the federal structure we have currently which is that state governors are the first line of responsibility before it goes to FG. Everything cannot be stopping at Abuja all the time. There is a reason. Why we have state governors

Like someone said Wike didn't wait for Buhari to handle issues if the SE governors can't do it then they should openly ask for FG support and openly take ownership for whatever fallout comes out of it

In recent past we have seen State govs not securing their states, FG steps in then these local politicians put all the blame on FG

We need to learn from the past on how to handle this so it's a joint effort of local and federal

PDPGuy:
Ice T no send anyone at all, with his wife’s 4th of July outfit..

Roland17:
The Wike example is absolutely not comparable. We are talking about criminal elements that have held the entire states in the SE under siege, you are talking about Rivers State. If criminal elements held the entire SS region under siege, the FG will absolutely intervene, we have seen this over and over again.

Respecting federal structure has nothing to do with who controls our armed forces, intelligence and security personnel as those are exclusively under the purview of the Presidency. Dayo, an entire region in the Federal Republic of Nigeria under the watch of the CCAF is under siege and you would rather the region burn to ground because you want to keep Asiwaju out of trouble and people’s mouth.

Man, please show some empathy and consideration to the lives that are living in these conditions. Asiwaju is the president of the entire country, not just APC voters or regions that supported him. He is the head of Government and as things stand an entire region under siege.

airmark:
You not reasoning along is even a shocker to me.

Even Emaprince claimed he warned his dad not to show dissenting view in public, to avoid getting harmed.

OasisX:
That Jambito don buy herself serious market. Except JAMB choose peace over violence, she may spend some time in Correctional Centre.

Owner of the CBT Center, Mr. Osita Chidoka, has come out to shed more light and apparently she is guilty of forgery.

....I guess this is the reason DSS get involved.

Ellexy:
Still not a reason for them to get involved. This is a police case not national security matter.

It's almost like the DSS don't know their role anymore. They're getting involved with every Tom, Dick and Harry.

[color=royalblue]The moment it involved hacking into the database of a Government examination board, it should be a matter of national security.

That's what i think sha[/color]

Growing up while reading government textbooks in secondary school , I was of the opinion that the French policy of assimilation in the French speaking regions of Africa is far more superior and beneficial to Africans than the British’s indirect rule .

Now all grown having access to different news articles , propaganda and media reports I somehow feel the French didn’t mean well for Africa at all compared to their British counterparts .

Looking at how militancy groups spring up in different French African countries the moment france feels they are losing grip of such country, how France just goes after it’s interests in those countries before anything all makes it feel like the French are really ruthless but nobody talks enough about them

I think the assimilation policy was still better for the francophone subjects than what the British gave us.

I've just come back from Afronation in Portugal, where I estimate up to 80% of attendees were black French citizens. Some if the greatest names in sporting history are children of black francophone assimilants.

What's happening in francophone countries is largely driven by greed of the African leaders themselves from Cameroon to the Congos, to CAR, to Ivory Coast, to Senegal and/or by Islamic separatism wey no send anybody papa like in Chad, Niger, Mali etc.

airmark:
Waiting for this all along. Maybe that's why the former governors were useless as the CSO of their states, and allowed the miscreants to grow wings. It is well.

Theflint1:
He referenced the civil war, then spoke about unknown gun men. The civil war is seen till this day by many, especially people from the SE as a pogrom. That tweet was at best poorly worded or very probably sinister.

OasisX:
SMH....... I am beginning to understand airmark and raumdeuter better.

Emaprince:
Buhari was clearly careless with his utterance. Wetin concern civil war with unknown gunmen?

Bringing up civil war made it seem like he was referring to the entire South East. That's like opening an old wound.

However, this menace will not go down if the leaders, ohanaeze and other elites don't stand up and speak against it. I feel they know the sponsors and probably can't do shit about it..hence their deafening silence. This is now at par with the boko haram menace.

Theflint1:
Sure, speaking up will be done, but no matter how much speaking gets done, if the C-in-C for whatever reason doesn't want to move, nothing will be done. Soludo and other South East leaders spoke up about the IPOB menace in the past administration, made suggestions on an approach to curb the menace and there was nothing from the centre in the way of letting them know they'd been heard.

A lot of things in Nigeria are top-down, and sadly, handling a menace like IPOB requires a top-down approach.

At the start of the whole IPOB sit-at-home thing, there were attempts at enforcing same in Rivers, but not just Rivers, Delta too, those that are quick to mention Wike as responsible for quelling the sit-at-home forget the sit-at-home thing didn't take root in Delta either. Maybe they too will credit Okowa for squashing IPOB, or maybe acknowledge that IPOB can't enforce sit-at-home's where they don't have numbers like that, and Wike's "show of force" was simply Wike being Wike, eager to show himself as an action governor... the same way the idiot was demolishing structures during the lockdown. Even in the core South East states where the sit-at-home is being enforced, there are differences in levels of compliance and attacks (they seem to be targeting rural areas).
